Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The bill would remove a pension cut introduced by the 2009 State Budget Law. That cut reduced pensions for permanent disability retirement for civil servants with less than 20 years of service by up to 25%.
  2. It would change Article 33 of the State Civil Pensions Law. People receiving a pension for permanent disability for service could then combine it with work different from the job they did for the State.
  3. It would delete point 2 of Article 2 of Royal Decree 691/1991. The goal is that civil servants under the civil pension regime can access partial retirement and family benefits on equal terms with the general Social Security system.
  4. The law would take effect the day after its publication in the Official State Gazette. It would also apply retroactively to retirements or disabilities arising from January 1, 2015 onward.

Who it affects

  • Civil servants with a pension for permanent disability for service or unfitness: They would recover the pension amount that was cut since 2009.
  • Civil servants who want to retire partially: They could access partial retirement on equal terms with other Social Security regimes.
  • Family members of civil servants under the civil pension regime: They would have guaranteed access to family benefits.
